The Dell XPS 14 and Lenovo Yoga 9i Gen 9 are excellent 14-inch laptops. The Yoga offers a 2-in-1's flexibility while the XPS 14 has more options. Which is best?
The 14-inch laptop has become increasingly popular thanks to its slightly larger screen size and yet still portable chassis. Unsurprisingly, there have been in influx of great 14-inch laptops as manufacturers try to leapfrog each other in performance and value.
With the Yoga 9i Gen 9, you not only have a more portable laptop but also one that offers more flexibility with the ability to morph from a clamshell into media, tent, and tablet modes. It also supports an active pen for drawing and writing on the display. Both laptops are solidly built with all-aluminum chassis.
While both machines have the same number of USB-C ports, the XPS 14 has one more Thunderbolt 4 port while the Yoga 9i Gen 9 also offers a USB-A port for legacy support. The XPS 14 has a microSD card reader, which the Yoga lacks, and both support the same Wi-Fi level that’s just one step behind the bleeding-edge Wi-Fi 7.
The Yoga 9i Gen 9 only has integrated Intel Arc graphics, which falls somewhere between the older Intel Iris Xe graphics and the entry-level Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 GPU. The XPS 14 can be configured with the RTX 4050, which makes it a potentially faster laptop.
